Early conversion before collapse may improve survival in off-pump CABG; leaves open validation of predictors and timing in prospective trials.
Does the timing of conversion from Off-Pump to On-Pump CABG affect operative mortality and morbidity in patients planned for Off-Pump CABG?
Early conversion to On-Pump CABG before hemodynamic collapse in high-risk patients planned for Off-Pump CABG prevents the high mortality associated with delayed conversion.
